I just bent my nib

Honestly, this is mostly a rant than asking advice, but I kinda need to put it out, so I am sorry if it's rambly.

It's almost 3am, I have been feeling like shit and I know, keeping myself awake this late will help nothing. I was distracted, writing at my weeks when the worse happen: My pen fell and when I picked it up, the nib was bent.

Honestly, I don't think it's the end of the universe (yet): At best, a troublesome and half traumatic fixing, at worse, I will have to buy a new nib. It's just... I already feeling so defeated about another personal things and this happens to my latest pen. Like, side note, I am already upset that this year I will not be able to buy a new pen for my birthday like previous years. I can pay to fix it, but already to tight in money, I honestly feel a bit like crying, but also am too tired.

Like, the only good side of this situation is that it was my pen, not my sister's fountain pen (I am borrowing hers). Honestly, I would be fricking around MUCH harder it I accidentally bent her fountain pen, I legit think I would swap nibs out of desperation (both are TWSBI, size M).

Anyway, I am going to sleep, if anyone has any tips to unbent a nib, it would be much appreciated. Sorry not posting a photo now, like I said I am tired and this already feels like universe way of saying I should turn off for the day. I may post a photo later, but it basically a J. I tried applying force, to even out the bent part, and it's less bent than before, but I am feeling a little unhinged, so I am worried if I keep pushing, I will end up breaking out of rush.

If it helps, like I said, it's a TWISBI ECO, size M, Amazonite edition. Any help is appreciated. Wish everyone no pen accidents for the rest of the year.
